Other Biochemistry

Welcome to our information on Other Biochemistry that helps athletes surpass their plateaus.  Here we will learn how Vitamin D,  Astaxanthin and Magnesium play a vital role in bringing your endurance to another level.
Ultra K Vitamins


Vitamin D

Vitamin D exists in two forms, vitamin D2 and vitamin D3, which differ in the structure of their side chains that are known as ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol. Both vitamins D2 and D3 are metabolized by their conversion to the 25-hydroxy form and then to the 1,25-dihydroxy metabolite in the kidney, which is the bioactive form of this vitamin (Thomas 2023). Vitamin D3 can be absorbed a few ways, it can be produced by ultraviolet radiation that is acting on the parent compound (Thomas 2023), or you can eat foods such as deep-sea fatty fish, egg yolks or liver.

Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin (C40H52O4) is a xanthophyll containing 13 conjugated double bonds and is abundant in microorganisms (Satoh, T. 2016). Astaxanthin (ASTX) is a carotenoid found in marine animals like salmon and shrimp. Astaxanthin is also found in yeast, microalgae, and aquatic animals It shows promise in preventing liver fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of certain liver cells. ASTX also reduces collagen buildup in the liver and decreases the expression of genes associated with fibrosis (Satoh, T. 2016).

Magnesium Malate

Compound formed by the combination of magnesium and malic acid. The chemical formula for magnesium malate is commonly written as Mg(C4H5O5)2. Mg represents magnesium, and (C4H5O5)2 represents two molecules of malic acid (Barbagallo, 2021). In general, seeds, legumes, nuts (almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts, and peanuts), whole grain breads, and cereals (brown rice, millet), some fruits, and cocoa are considered good sources of magnesium (Barbagallo, 2021).
